For great video quality and high durability, the Garmin Virb 360 degree is a compelling product. Compared to its peers, it is pricey but, in return, a host of premium features are offered. For instance, it is rated as waterproof for a depth of up to 33 feet. The camera can record videos in 5.7K resolution and it can capture images in 12 MP using its 2 CMOS sensors.
One of the key unique features of Garmin Virb 360 degree is its ability to record 360 degree videos in 5.7K resolution. This is considered to be an anomaly in the market given that most cameras can record videos in 4k resolution at most. As expected, the video quality is superior compared to the rest of its competitors. On a single charge, it can record around 30 minutes of 360 degree footage in 5.7K resolution.
Many cameras suffer from overheating when recording at their highest resolution which may result in unexpected shutdowns. The Garmin Virb 360 degree does not face such problems during 5.7K recording.
The camera is capable of recording in 4K as well. The sacrifice in quality brings along some benefits as well. The video recorded in 4K is pre-stitched which means no video editing is required to stitch the video together and, subsequently, one can avoid this time consuming process. Furthermore, the 4K recording is saved in “equirectangular” format. As a result, the video can be directly uploaded to online platforms, such as YouTube and Facebook, without the need to covert the video into a different file format.
